• Massage Rollers: A common massage roller is The Stick, which comes in varying lengths and flexibilities. You can use this tool by rolling the rod and its oversized beads across sore or tight muscles to essentially self-message your legs. Like foam rollers, these tools can help to combat muscle tightness and imbalance and to flush new, oxygenated blood into targeted areas. Movin’ features The Stick and Addaday massage rollers, both of which are designed to release ‘muscle knots’ and prevent myofascial pain. Utilizing these tools before and after workouts helps to promote recovery and prevent injury. Use the following link for more details: www.thestick.com

• Compression Socks and Sleeves: Compression socks and sleeves can be worn during and after workouts to achieve desired benefits. The special engineering of graduated compression helps to reduce inflammation and swelling, as well as to stimulate the movement of new, oxygenated blood into the calves. At Movin’ we only carry the best brands in compression apparel, namely CEP and Zoot. Give us a call with any compression gear-related questions!

• NANO Foot Rollers and Massage Balls: Targeted primarily for the feet, these mini-foam roller Trigger Point tools are designed to stretch and massage the muscles of the feet. The innovative designs help to increase flexibility and relieve minor aches and pains in the feet. These recovery aids are perfect for use while at the office or while watching TV at home, as they can be used simultaneously to help in the aid of myofascial release.
